The Hegemony belonged to Sate Pestage and was the home of his family, but was usurped by his murderer, Prince-AdmiralDelak Krennel. Krennel maintained his power by frequent, bloody purges of any possible opposition (starting with Pestage's family) and operated it as a humanocentrist regime. Despite that, the Hegemony's population was only 56% Human, with several worlds having a large alien majority. Krennel was toppled in 9 ABY, when the New Republic launched a military campaign against him.
